Definitions and Criteria:
Airport: Commercial and GA airports with known runways longer than 400 meters, data sourced from OurAirports.com and AOPA China. Commercial airports are publicly owned
airports with at least 2,500 annual enplanements and scheduled air services, whilst the remainder are considered GA airports.
MRO: Facilities providing airframe and/or engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul services to business jet and turbine helicopters. Commercial airliner MROs that provide maintenance
services only to airliner-converted business jets (such as ACJ/BBJ), but not to any other purposed-built business jets, are not included in this edition of the report.
FBO: Fixed Base Operators providing aviation services to crew/passengers using private and/or business aviation aircraft and ground handling services from fixed facilities in an airport.
Training School: Facilities providing pilot training using training aircraft. Only schools under Part 141 or equivalent licenses are included in the report. Organizations only providing
simulator or theory training are not included.
Training Aircraft: Normal aircraft used for (but not limited to) pilot training. Recreational light spot aircraft (LSA is defined by local CAAs in different countries and has no worldwide
standard) are not included in the report.
Note:
The total number of business jet MROs and the total number of turbine helicopter MROs includes those facilities that also service both.
The total number of fixed-wing aircraft training schools and helicopter training schools includes those schools that also provide training for both.
